Vipul Shah, Chairman, GJEPC<\/em><\/strong>, outlines the Indian gem and jewellery sector\u2019s remarkable journey over the past year, its pivotal role in India’s economic growth, and the Council\u2019s efforts towards its promising future.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Indian gem and jewellery industry has demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability, which have enabled it to thrive amidst global uncertainties and economic shifts. As we chart the path forward, these attributes will remain the guiding principles for continued growth and success.<\/p>\n

The sector\u2019s journey has been nothing short of transformative. From its origins in artisanal craftsmanship to becoming a global leader in exports valued at $32 billion in 2023-24, the industry has consistently showcased its ability to adapt and innovate. Despite challenges like geopolitical tensions and reduced demand from major markets, such as the USA and China, India\u2019s gem and jewellery trade continues to excel.<\/p>\n

The key to this success lies in the dedication of our manufacturers, exporters, and artisans, whose skills and creativity have earned the trust of clients worldwide. Complementing their efforts is the strong support from the Government of India, \u00a0which has introduced trade-friendly policies like import duty reductions, financial assistance programs, and the development of jewellery parks and Common Facility Centres.<\/p>\n

At the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council, we are working tirelessly to lay the foundation for this transformation. Our flagship event, the India International Jewellery Show (IIJS) Premiere, Signature & Tritiya, has become the largest trade show in the world. Each year, these shows evolve with increasing visitor footfalls and exhibitor participation.<\/p>\n

Initiatives like the International Gem & Jewellery Show (IGJS) in Dubai & Jaipur; the India Jewellery Exposition Centre (IJEX) in Dubai; Buyer-Seller Meets; and India Pavilions among several others, have provided unparalleled platforms for Indian manufacturers to connect with global buyers. These efforts have significantly boosted exports and strengthened India\u2019s reputation as a hub for fine jewellery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Technology and innovation are shaping this evolution. At the Bharat Ratnam Mega Common Facility Centre in Mumbai, we have introduced Asia\u2019s first\u202fmetal 3D printing machine, setting a new benchmark for technological advancements in jewellery manufacturing. The Government, too, has shown immense support with its historic investment in\u202flab-grown diamond research and development, which promises applications beyond jewellery, such as semiconductors and cooling technologies.<\/p>\n

This momentum aligns perfectly with India\u2019s larger narrative under the leadership of our Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Bhai Modi\u2014showcasing strength and capability on the global stage. Our industry mirrors this story, breaking barriers and setting new benchmarks.<\/p>\n

India proudly hosts two major gem and jewellery hubs: Jaipur, celebrated for its beautiful gemstones, and Surat, the diamond capital of the world. To strengthen Jaipur\u2019s position in the global market, we established the Indian Institute of Gems & Jewellery (IIGJ) Jaipur. Supporting Jaipur\u2019s traders further, we organise a Rough Gemstone Show and are collaborating with the government to set up a Special Notified Zone (SNZ) for gemstones. Additionally, we are developing one of the world\u2019s first gem bourses in Jaipur, a significant milestone towards becoming a global gemstone hub.<\/p>\n

The upcoming state-of-the-art India Jewellery Park in Mumbai exemplifies the sector\u2019s forward-thinking approach. Construction work for the same is set to begin on 15th January 2025. These projects are not just about infrastructure but about nurturing an ecosystem of growth and innovation, creating jobs and bolstering the socio-economic fabric of key regions.<\/p>\n

Our artisans remain the backbone of this vibrant sector. Recognising their invaluable contribution, GJEPC has partnered with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship under the PM Vishwakarma Scheme to train goldsmiths and artisans at its Indian Institute of Gems & Jewellery (IIGJ) institutes across the country. These efforts ensure that the unique craftsmanship of Indian jewellery remains relevant and competitive in modern markets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Global Vision with Ethical Foundations\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

India\u2019s commitment to ethical practices is reflected in its leadership role in the Kimberley Process and collaborations with international bodies like the World Diamond Council. By adhering to global standards of governance and responsible sourcing, we reinforce our reputation as a responsible industry leader.<\/p>\n

International trade agreements, such as the India-UAE CEPA, the Indo-Australian ECTA, and discussions for FTAs with the UK and Canada, further underline our focus on global integration. These agreements open new avenues for growth, ensuring that Indian jewellery reaches discerning customers worldwide.<\/p>\n

As we look to the future, GJEPC remains committed to achieving the ambitious target of $75 billion in exports by 2030. Our efforts are aligned with the vision of Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for an Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-sufficient nation), where the gem and jewellery industry will play a pivotal role in realising the dream of a Viksit Bharat (developed India).<\/p>\n

Digital transformation is integral to our strategy. By modernising export protocols and enhancing e-commerce capabilities, we are empowering small and medium enterprises to connect with global markets seamlessly. These steps not only boost exports but also elevate Indian jewellery\u2019s appeal on the global stage.<\/p>\n

Today, the Indian gem and jewellery sector is experiencing a remarkable transformation. Leading conglomerates such as Tata, Reliance, and Birla have recognized the vast opportunities in this domain. Their participation underscores the significance of this industry, which has been a cornerstone of India\u2019s cultural and economic fabric.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our industry, long driven by traditional family-owned businesses, is now embracing change. Companies like Senco Gold, Kalyan Jewellers, and PNG Gadgil, which started as family enterprises, have successfully gone public, marking a significant shift in how the industry operates. This reflects growing public and investor confidence in the jewellery sector.<\/p>\n

The Indian gem and jewellery industry is not just an economic contributor; it is a custodian of the nation\u2019s cultural heritage and a symbol of its creative brilliance. Guided by resilience, adaptability, and innovation, the industry is poised for greater achievements in the years to come.<\/p>\n

Together, with the support of the Government, industry stakeholders, and our talented artisans, we aim to position Indian gems and jewellery as a global standard of excellence.<\/p>\n

The message is simple and clear:\u202fthink big, innovate relentlessly, and embrace technology. The future belongs to those who adapt and evolve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
